Chile showed once again that it is one of the best teams of this WC. Always heartbreaking to go out on penalties (as a Dutch fan I can attest to that). I am glad that Brazil is through though, it makes the atmosphere of the tournament so much better when the host is still competing.
I am also SO glad Uruguay is out. Was rooting for Colombia tonight and they did not disappoint
Brazil will lose to Colombia. Thanks to the Chileans they've exposed their play. All the teams they will face will study that game and know how to control the game. So count Brazil out unless they just have crazy good luck.
Studying it vs successfully doing it are two different things. Until a team can beat Brazil, they will be my pick to make the Finals.

I think it's much hotter than that. Even many of the fans in the stadium went away from their seats and took a standing spot in the shadow. Apparently the humidity is extremely high and the temperature feels to be at least 35°C.
Such a shame De Jong got injured early into the game, that's a major loss for us. Now BMI took his place but he's still recovering from a concussion he sustained last week. That can't be good in this blistering heat And then we have Verhaegh who is making his debut in this game (and looking rather weak, I must say).
I'm glad it's still 0-0 because we always seem to step it up in the second half. Mexico is a tough challenge, as I had expected. No real surprises so far.
